Step 1: Shut down the impaired controller
To shut down the impaired controller, you must determine the status of the controller and,
if necessary, take over the controller so that the healthy controller continues to serve data
from the impaired controller storage.
About this task
If you have a cluster with more than two nodes, it must be in quorum. If the cluster is not in quorum or a healthy
controller shows false for eligibility and health, you must correct the issue before shutting down the impaired
controller; see the
Administration overview with the CLI.
Steps
1. If AutoSupport is enabled, suppress automatic case creation by invoking an AutoSupport message:
system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message
MAINT=number_of_hours_downh
The following AutoSupport message suppresses automatic case creation for two hours: cluster1:*>
system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=2h
2.
Disable automatic giveback from the console of the healthy controller:
storage failover modify
–node local -auto-giveback false
3. Take the impaired controller to the LOADER prompt:
If the impaired controller is
displaying…
Then…
The LOADER prompt Go to Remove controller module.
